These are signs seen primarily at Tea Party Protests.

They all feature "creative" spelling or grammar.

This new dialect of the English language shall be known as "Teabonics."

Having seen more than a few of the signs the leftists have thrown together, I am not sure they have any right to be snarky.

Well, the anti-tea partiers get pre-fabricated signs and spell check is used, I’m sure.

Yes the Astroturfrooters tend to have professionally printed signs.

Cindy Sheehan showing us how well four Lefturds can spell when they work together:

Hey! Two orthographically challenged Lefturds in one picture!

(In my best Jerry Springer voice):

So, what have we learned from all of this? Perhaps it is that Libtards and Lefturds have been highly successful in dumbing down America.

Cheers

Some of these are not true misspellings but the kind of mistake you make when you’re painting a sign. Paintos, like typos.

“OBAMACARE SUCKS!!! This is HUGH AND SERIES!!”

"Most of those constructions and spellings are part and particle of the Official Free Republic Lexicon!"

Unfortunately, true.

Which flies in the face of what I was taught as a boy growing up in the 50's and 60's, being taught my language and grammatical construction was imperative to being respected, listened to and landing a good job.

Now, all poor grammer does is leap out at my sense of composition, syncopates lingual meter and renders an otherwise intelligent essay just a little less intelligent.


Maybe it's just me ... but that's how I feel.


(PS ... thank gudness fer spelchek, becuz befour I posted this, I notissed a few gramma diskrep ... dischrepan ... things that where rong.)

Daily KOS had a name for this (teabonics) last month and that name has gone viral.

What makes you think that all such cases are genuine signs?

Crash The Tea Party has been advocating deliberately misspelling signs.

Pure Alinsky.
